Nitisinone Treatment Affects Biomarkers of Bone and Cartilage Remodelling in Alkaptonuria Patients. Nitisinone has been approved for treatment of alkaptonuria (AKU). Non-invasive biomarkers of joint tissue remodelling could aid in understanding the molecular changes in AKU pathogenesis and how these can be affected by treatment. Serological and urinary biomarkers of type I collagen and II collagen in AKU were investigated in patients enrolled in the randomized SONIA 2 (NCT01916382) clinical study at baseline and yearly until the end of the study (Year 4). The trajectories of the biomarkers over time were observed. After treatment with nitisinone, the biomarkers of type I collagen remodelling increased at Year 1 (19% and 40% increase in CTX-I and PRO-C1, respectively), which

Comprehensive Biotransformation Analysis of Phenylalanine-Tyrosine Metabolism Reveals Alternative Routes of Metabolite Clearance in Nitisinone-Treated Alkaptonuria. Metabolomic analyses in alkaptonuria (AKU) have recently revealed alternative pathways in phenylalanine-tyrosine (phe-tyr) metabolism from biotransformation of homogentisic acid (HGA), the active molecule in this disease. The aim of this research was to study the phe-tyr metabolic pathway and whether the metabolites upstream of HGA, increased in nitisinone-treated patients, also undergo phase 1 and 2 biotransformation reactions. Metabolomic analyses were performed on serum and urine from patients partaking in the SONIA 2 phase 3 international randomised-controlled trial of nitisinone in AKU (EudraCT no. 2013-001633-41). Serum and urine

Radiological evolution of spinal disease in alkaptonuria and the effect of nitisinone. Ochronotic spondyloarthropathy represents one of the main clinical manifestations of alkaptonuria (AKU); however, prospective data and description of the effect of nitisinone treatment are lacking. Patients with AKU aged 25 years or older were randomly assigned to receive either oral nitisinone 10 mg/day (N=69 in any of the five radiographic parameters except for a slower rate of progression (sum of all five features) in the treatment group compared with the control group (0.45 (1.11) nitisinone vs 0.74 (1.11) controls, p=0.049) in the thoracic segment. The present study shows a relatively slow but significant worsening of radiographic features in patients with AKU over 4 years. Our results demonstrate

Comparing the Phenylalanine/Tyrosine Pathway and Related Factors between Keratopathy and No-Keratopathy Groups as Well as between Genders in Alkaptonuria during Nitisinone Treatment. Nitisinone (NIT) causes tyrosinaemia and corneal keratopathy (KP), especially in men. However, the adaptation within the phenylalanine (PHE)/tyrosine (TYR) catabolic pathway during KP is not understood. The objective of this study is to assess potential differences in the PHE/TYR pathway during KP and the influence of gender in NIT-induced tyrosinaemia in alkaptonuria (AKU). Samples of serum and 24 h urine collected from patients treated with NIT during a 4-year randomized study in NIT vs. no-treatment controls (SONIA 2; Suitability Of Nitisinone In Alkaptonuria 2; EudraCT no. 2013-001633-41) at months 3 (V2), 12 (V3), 24

Revisiting Quantification of Phenylalanine/Tyrosine Flux in the Ochronotic Pathway during Long-Term Nitisinone Treatment of Alkaptonuria. Changes in the phenylalanine (PHE)/tyrosine (TYR) pathway metabolites before and during homogentisic acid (HGA)-lowering by nitisinone in the Suitability of Nitisinone in Alkaptonuria (AKU) 2 (SONIA 2) study enabled the magnitude of the flux in the pathway to be examined. SONIA 2 was a 48-month randomised, open-label, evaluator-blinded, parallel-group study performed in the UK, France and Slovakia recruiting patients with confirmed AKU to receive either 10 mg nitisinone or no treatment. Site visits were performed at 3 months and yearly thereafter. Results from history, photographs of eyes/ears, whole body scintigraphy, echocardiography and abdomen/pelvis

Long-term safety and outcomes in hereditary tyrosinaemia type 1 with nitisinone treatment: a 15-year non-interventional, multicentre study. Since the EU approval of nitisinone in 2005, prognosis for patients with hereditary tyrosinaemia type 1 has changed dramatically, with patients living with the disease now reaching adulthood for the first time in history. This study aimed to assess the long -term safety and outcomes of nitisinone treatment in patients with hereditary tyrosinaemia type 1. We did a non-interventional, non-comparative, multicentre study in 77 sites across 17 countries in Europe and collected retrospective and prospective longitudinal data in patients with hereditary tyrosinaemia type 1 who were treated with oral nitisinone during the study period (Feb 21, 2005, to Sept 30

Efficacy and safety of once-daily nitisinone for patients with alkaptonuria (SONIA 2): an international, multicentre, open-label, randomised controlled trial. Alkaptonuria is a rare, genetic, multisystem disease characterised by the accumulation of homogentisic acid (HGA). No HGA-lowering therapy has been approved to date. The aim of SONIA 2 was to investigate the efficacy and safety of once -daily nitisinone for reducing HGA excretion in patients with alkaptonuria and to evaluate whether nitisinone has a clinical benefit. SONIA 2 was a 4-year, open-label, evaluator-blind, randomised, no treatment controlled, parallel-group study done at three sites in the UK, France, and Slovakia. Patients aged 25 years or older with confirmed alkaptonuria and any clinical disease manifestations were

Evolution of tyrosinemia type 1 disease in patients treated with nitisinone in Spain. Treatment with nitisinone (NTBC) has brought about a drastic improvement in the treatment and prognosis of hereditary tyrosinemia type I (HT1). We conducted a retrospective observational multicentric study in Spanish HT1 patients treated with NTBC to assess clinical and biochemical long-term evolution.We

Quantification of the flux of tyrosine pathway metabolites during nitisinone treatment of Alkaptonuria. Nitisinone decreases homogentisic acid (HGA) in Alkaptonuria (AKU) by inhibiting the tyrosine metabolic pathway in humans. The effect of different daily doses of nitisinone on circulating and 24 h urinary excretion of phenylalanine (PA), tyrosine (TYR), hydroxyphenylpyruvate (HPPA ), hydroxyphenyllactate (HPLA) and HGA in patients with AKU was studied over a four week period. Forty AKU patients, randomised into five groups of eight patients, received doses of 1, 2, 4 or 8 mg of nitisinone daily, or no drug (control). Metabolites were analysed by tandem mass spectrometry in 24 h urine and serum samples collected before and after nitisinone. Serum metabolites were corrected for total body water

One-year pilot study on the effects of nitisinone on melanin in patients with OCA-1B. Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) results in reduced melanin synthesis, skin hypopigmentation, increased risk of UV-induced malignancy, and developmental eye abnormalities affecting vision. No treatments exist. We have shown that oral nitisinone increases ocular and fur pigmentation in a mouse model of one form of albinism, OCA-1B, due to hypomorphic mutations in the Tyrosinase gene. In this open-label pilot study, 5 adult patients with OCA-1B established baseline measurements of iris, skin, and hair pigmentation and were treated over 12 months with 2 mg/d oral nitisinone. Changes in pigmentation and visual function were evaluated at 3-month intervals. The mean change in iris transillumination, a marker of melanin

Minimal Efficacy of Nitisinone Treatment in a Novel Mouse Model of Oculocutaneous Albinism, Type 3. Oral nitisinone has been shown to increase fur and ocular pigmentation in a mouse model of oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) due to hypomorphic mutations in tyrosinase (TYR), OCA1B. This study determines if nitisinone can improve ocular and/or fur pigmentation in a mouse model of OCA type 3 (OCA3 ), caused by mutation of the tyrosinase-related protein 1 (Tyrp1) gene. Mice homozygous for a null allele in the Tyrp1 gene (C57BL/6J-Tyrp1 b-J/J) were treated with 8 mg/kg nitisinone or vehicle every other day by oral gavage. Changes in fur and ocular melanin pigmentation were monitored. Mature ocular melanosome number and size were quantified in pigmented ocular structures by electron microscopy. C57BL

Data on items of AKUSSI in Alkaptonuria collected over three years from the United Kingdom National Alkaptonuria Centre and the impact of nitisinone Alkaptonuria is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a high level of circulating (and urine) homogentisic acid (HGA), which contributes to ochronosis when it is deposited in connective tissue as a pigmented polymer. In an observational study carried out by National AKU Centre (NAC) in Liverpool, a total of thirty-nine AKU patients attended yearly visits in varying numbers. At each visit a mixture of clinical, joint and spinal assessments were carried out and the results calculated to yield an AKUSSI (Alkaptonuria Severity Score Index), see "Nitisinone arrests ochronosis and decreases rate of progression of Alkaptonuria: evaluation

Serum Amino Acid Profiling in Patients with Alkaptonuria Before and After Treatment with Nitisinone Alkaptonuria (AKU) is a rare inherited disorder of the tyrosine metabolic pathway. Our group is evaluating the use of the homogentisic acid-lowering agent nitisinone in patients with AKU. A major biochemical consequence of this treatment is hypertyrosinaemia. Herein we report the concentration of 20 serum amino acids over a 36-month period pre- and post-treatment with nitisinone. Fasting serum samples were collected at baseline (pre-nitisinone), 3 (2 mg nitisinone every other day), 6, 12, 24 and 36 (2 mg nitisinone daily) months. Amino acids were measured using the Biochrom 30 high-performance liquid chromatography cation exchange system with ninhydrin detection. Fifty patients [21 female

Assessment of the Effect of Once Daily Nitisinone Therapy on 24-h Urinary Metadrenalines and 5-Hydroxyindole Acetic Acid Excretion in Patients with Alkaptonuria After 4 Weeks of Treatment One of the major metabolic consequences of using nitisinone to treat patients with alkaptonuria is that circulating tyrosine concentrations increase. As tyrosine is required for the biosynthesis of catecholamine neurotransmitters, it is possible that their metabolism is altered as a consequence. Herein we report the 24-h urinary excretion of normetadrenaline (NMA), metadrenaline (MA), 3-methoxytyramine (3-MT) (catecholamine metabolites) and 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (5-HIAA, metabolite of serotonin) in a cohort of AKU patients before and after a 4-week treatment trial with nitisinone. 24 h urinary
